Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG – Black – Metallic Gold

Another Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG is joining the mix in the month of April in the form of this crazy patent leather pair. The upper is a shiny black affair with a crisp metallic gold Swoosh cutting across the mid-section. And, as denoted by the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG stauts, this pair will have the ‘Nike Air’ treatment on the tongue, and the colorway does indeed line up pretty closely with the ultra rare black and gold Air Jordan 1 OG. See more on the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG in black/metallic gold (Release date April 13th) after the jump and tell us you like what you see.

SN writers, PLEASE step your research game up. These ARE an OG colorway. In fact, they are the most famous of the OG colorways. Only a handful were made, and in the 90's a pair was sold in Japan for something crazy like $24,000. Due to their rarity, these were one of the OG bootlegs as well. They were SO rare, that even bootlegs were cracking triple digits when they showed up on the secondary market. Though I believe the gold glitter/clear sole is a new addition.

@jshortt Yes I got this wrong, oversights like this do sometimes happen when we are trying to bring the info to our readers before any other site does. Respect to you for your knowledge on the colorway. I don't think you can call it the "most famous" by any means though. How can a super rare colorway that the vast majority of the public has never seen in real life be more famous/well known than the OG black/red or white/black/red? Also, I believe (the history is obviously kinda muddy here) that the original pair came with a white midsole in the sample version, whereas the 15 F&F pairs had a blacked out midsole and a bit more gold around the ankles, so I don't think it's 100% accurate to call this an 'OG colorway'. Thanks for reading and thanks for commenting.
